Diamondback Sortie 29er 3.0

If you haven't made the leap to a 29" bike yet, now is the time! 29" wheels have become superior to 26" wheels for there ability to rollover obstacles easier and carry more momentum to reach greater speeds.

The Sortie 29er was inspired by the Sortie 26" platform. Diamondback wanted to retain the essence of the 26" platform with the added benefits of the 29" wheel size. It's safe to say Diamondback was successful! The 2013 Diamondback Sortie 29er is a lean mean trail-riding machine. The responsive nature of the suspension design allows you to spend half the day riding up the side of the mountain and the other half riding back down.

The Dimaondback Sortie 29 3.0 begins with 6061 T6 Weapons Grade Aluminum with a hydroformed top tube, a butted and formed downtube, a seatstay bridge, a tapered headtube, and a 142x12mm E-Thru Axle dropout. Every aspect of the frame was built to be strong and durable without breaking the scale. The tapered headtube improves handling abilities and is stronger, which is essential for aggressive riders. The E- Thru Axle is strong and adds stability and rigidity to the rear end.

The Sortie 29er features Diamondback’s legendary Knuckle Box suspension design which is a single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. There are many benefits with this suspension design, including better small bump compliance, improved tracking, and more confident cornering. The Sortie 29er 3.0 runs the Fox Shocks Float with CTD technology and Boost Valve. The Boost Valve provides the feeling of endless travel, much like a downhill bike. Fox Shocks CTD (Climb Trail Descend) suspension technology allows you to adjust your shock on the fly, ensuring you're always dialed in to tackle the upcoming terrain. Zip and zoom through single track without a care in the world. The nimble geometry allows you to clear tight corners, maneuver around ruts, roots, and rocks, without dropping a foot for balance. No matter what backwood trail you may find yourself on, the Sortie 29 3.0 will ensure you’re having a ball.

Diamondback brought monumental quality and value to the Sortie 29er 3.0 through its plush component package. The Sortie 29er 3.0 is outfitted with Fox Shocks suspension and Shimano XT drivetrain components. To start, Diamondback chose the Fox shocks 32 Float with 120mm of travel, tapered steer, and quick release 15mm thru axle. The Fox fork is part of Fox’s 2013 lineup with CTD (climb, trail, descend) technology. CTD technology allows you to adjust the fork numerous times throughout the trail with the flip of a dial to adjust for changes in the land. Built for strength and durability, Shimano XT shifters, crankset, and derailleurs provide smooth seamless shifting between gears. The Shimano XT crankset is lightweight, flex- free, and provides unparalleled power transfer. Shimano XT is designed as much for everyday riding as it is for racing. The Shimano XT brakes offer smooth powerful braking power that'll have you stopping on a dime. Making up the cockpit, an Easton EA50 series handlebar and stem were chosen for there impressive strength, performance, and price. The EA50 bar and stem excel at staying stiff when climbing up hills or bombing down the face of the mountain.

The Dimondback Sortie 29er 3.0 is a rock-solid package. 29” wheel bike with spot-on geometry, Knuckle Box suspension technology, Fox suspension, and Shimano XT drivetrain components, there is no compromise made with this bike.

Innovative Technology

Diamondback full suspension mountain bikes are known for their Knuckle Box suspension design. The Knuckle Box, or Bell Crank, is Diamondback’s single- pivot four- bar suspension platform. The ideally placed pivots create a low leverage ratio which creates superior pedaling efficiency and small bump compliance. By placing the Knuckle Box low within the frame, the bulk of the weight is closer to the bottom bracket. This lowers the bike’s center of gravity which helps to improve tracking and cornering. The four bar suspension design further increases control over wheel- rate. Wheel rate is the effective spring rate when measured at the wheel. Diamondback worked closely with Fox Suspension to optimize the wheel rate to be linear to slightly progressive. This results in small bump compliance, more perceived travel, and bottom- out protection.
